There was a real Paper Clip Project run by the US government. Among all the Nazi German scientists, Wernher von Braun worked in Nazi Germany's rocket development program. He helped design and develop the V-2 rocket at Peenemünde during World War II. Following the war, he was secretly moved to the United States, along with about 1,600 other German scientists, engineers, and technicians, as part of Operation Paperclip. He worked for the United States Army on an intermediate-range ballistic missile program, and he developed the rockets that launched the United States' first space satellite Explorer 1. Many of NASA's Nazi scientists were working at Cape Canaveral at the same time as the African-American mathematicians such as Katherine Johnson, featured in Il diritto di contare (2016). Kurt H. Debus, a former SA and SS member was first launch supervisor at Cape Canaveral, and was instrumental in designing the Saturn V which took Apollo to the Moon. He had formerly worked on the V2 rockets which terrorised London.
